Poor treatment of women is not why women don't post on GAF. It's something else. I've posted on OA and it used to have a ton of chicks, very active, posted a lot of pictures of themselves also. I don't recall OA treating women with much respect particularly. It has more to do with not being creepy.

No need to overanalyze this. GAF and its offshoots (Bore, OA) cater to a male dominated hobby (video games), a nerdy hobby at that. You won't find lots of dudes posting at knitting/crochet forums. It's the same thing.

I don't think there was ever tons of female posters over at OA, but even today, there are about half of a dozen. It's not moderated and many posters like shock value so the ladies get quite a bit of hazing, but those who remain are thick-skinned who are either attention whores ("hey everybody, look at my latest photos, keep the hate posts coming!") or just tough girls who roll with the punches. Devo with her schtick would be eaten alive over there, that's why she hides here, that and the GAF-related discussions are fairly limited, particularly compared to this place.

As an atheist, I can barely fucking stand the GAF atheists.

Never go to /r/atheism.  They make your average atheists look like fanatics.

I used to feel that way about gaf atheists, but then I realized that depending where they live, it's not like they can talk about it irl without repercussion, so why hold something against people who are probably using their only outlet to express their anger/frustration? Most other religious positions are seen as okay outside the internet. One time I went to a Wendy's and some guy walked up to me tell me about the lord Jesus Christ my supposed Savior. I told him naw, that's okay bro, don't believe that stuff. And he freaked. I ended up having to take my food somewhere else when all I wanted to do was eat in Wendy's. So it's pretty understandable because to many people religion is a huge deal and if you deny their religion, they see you as an enemy. Using the internet to talk about something that's not seen as a legit topic irl seems like something internet was made for, doesn't it?

Of course that doesn't fix the fact that many look like assfucks, but there it is. Have the same opinion on r/atheism even though it's a cesspool.

Wears a wedding ring out of habit after a divorce? Who the fuck are you guys kidding. Like any thread involving women it degenerates into "omg she must be lying" "attention whore" or whatever other stupid shit that is habitual when the subject happens to be a woman. Sometimes I don't even care if the woman isn't the greatest person on earth. The shit is tiresome and totally indicative of how much bitterness over women a bunch of fucking men on the internet have and need to get the fuck over.

My God, this is NeoGAF we're talking about. If you think they are representative of men, you're just... wow. You're wrong. And if you happen to live in an area where men are like Neogaffers, you need to GTFO. A lot of men definitely secretly harbor all kinds of shit against women and treat them fairly only on the outside but, again. NeoGAF.

Poor treatment of women is not why women don't post on GAF. It's something else. I've posted on OA and it used to have a ton of chicks, very active, posted a lot of pictures of themselves also. I don't recall OA treating women with much respect particularly. It has more to do with not being creepy.

OA is pretty fucked up and creepy. They basically trolled me in tinychat for months and told me they had my FB and were going to ruin my life. I went over there and saw that they basically troll each other with private info, as if that's not the epitome of creep.

You'd be surprised (or disappointed) to learn people do not talk about devo at OA.

The only two times I've seen her mentionned is when they post random pics of GAF members to make fun of and she just happened to be one of them at one point. And a GAF girl topic she derailed (a topic was only brought up because it was actually made by an OAer). That's it. Even if you do a thorough forum search (two mouse clicks), the word "devolution" will yield significantly more results by its actual meaning rather than being about her. OA is not GAF or The Bore.

Add to this cross-forum members, real people's identity being more vague in IRC (you don't need to register to post, you can log in as anyone) and any crazy stalker can shift the blame on a community. So excuse me if I'm skeptical about "OA stalking devo" in the IRC channel.

Quote from: EmCeeGramr;38686409
Dear Penthouse,

I NEVER thought this would happen to me. I was at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles a month ago, checking out the newest games, when I met the most amazing girl. Between her body, her smile, the way she showed off first person shooters - YOWZA! We hit it off immediately. I think it was my taste in obscure artful indie games (stuff like Rez, Ico, Katamari, Portal, Braid, Fez, natch) that convinced her I wasn't like all the other nerds there. Unfortunately, we were separated on the second day. Just as my explanation of the ironi-sexist qualities of Bayonetta was about to make her squirt like a super soaker, she suddenly got a call that said her house was on fire and she had to leave.

I posted a Missed Connection the next day and it was only a matter of days before I was getting emails and texts from her saying she really wanted to hook up. She told me her address at a motel in Compton (because of the house fire I guess) for me to come get her. After that, a romantic dinner at the Olive Garden. I picked out my best Mega64 tee and black cargo shorts... but I don't think they'll be on for too long. ;)

So to all the nerds out there, keep looking!
From A Mario Who Found His Peach

I found this really funny. +1 to whichever house ECG is in.

Even if OA had your personal FB or dox, they really won't do anything with it unless you really piss them off (see: Ichirou).  I think they get greater satisfaction knowing they can fuck with people's lives than actually doing it.

Or if it can provide entertainment back at the forum. But she doesn't post there and they don't care about her.

It would have to be someone with a personal beef with her to take it to the next level, but she already has plenty of enemies here and at GAF who could do that.

I'm assuming he cleaned some threads up and or some stuff wasn't cleaned up which means fanboys/trolls were banned and in the process assumed he had allegiance to one console or the other. That seems to be how it always goes on gaming side. Seems like such a futile venture.

I'm fine with 720p (NATIVE, not this downsized resolution blown up bullshit) for another five years or so if it means the games are running at 60FPS instead of 30FPS like now and right now most of those are sub-HD (620p is not HD, sorry). But I really don't want to pay $300+ for what amounts to 360/PS3 textures for another five years. Yeah, the new Tomb Raider and Uncharted and Halo 4 and blah blah blah are still pushing the hardware in some graphics departments but they're sub-HD so what the hell is the point?
